After a quite bad 1st stage in Szeged, Team SVK earned first seasons podiums in Duisburg thanks to the reigning world championship K2-1000m silver medalists Peter Gelle and the young Adam Botek, after yesterdays 2nd place in 1000m they today won the 500m

 

Well done guys

Ivana Mládková (formerly Kmeťová) with a very nice 5th place in the K1-200m, Great to see her back at high level again

and again only 4th place in this k4-500 crap event...Still can not believe they threw away the 1000m great event to replace it at the Olympics with this random bs

I though they should have just made the women’s event 1000m

[phelps 7,687]

they should keep the 1000m as the only "Olympic distance" (like 2000m is the olympic distance in Rowing) and have 12 Olympic races (K1, K2, K4, C1, C2, C4 for both men and women) over that length...

but I'm not the IOC...
